A few questions don’t make any sense with their choices, not to mention that broken/wrong answers to them are also there. For instance, the question where 2 moles of Cl2 gas are asked. The answer is 142g however the answer, set by the creator of these tests, is 71g. Apart from that, the test is quite helpful.
